* Every time spell check is used a box of information will appear. The line reading Flesh-Kincaid Grade Level pertains to a grade level.
* Type a passage from the story or book of at least 100 words. Then spell check the passage. The Flesh-Kincaid Grade Level line will inform you of the grade level for the passage you typed. This same process should be completed with a passage from the beginning, middle and end of the book. Then find the average of the three scores and that is the reading level of the book your child is reading.
